Thanks, Ross. It came to me apparently unworn and without remnants of a bash so it took a few days of playing with it before I settled on this Carlsbad i think it is? I couldn't bear to put the same bash to hat I have on five others!
Do raccoon hats qualify?
One of The meanest and greasiest pickers to ever spank the plank, Steve "Fergy" Ferguson. Both he and keyboardist Terry Adams were from Louisville, Ky where they were members of the Mersey Beats USA. They left to form the inimitable, legendary and most rocking NRBQ...
Chronologically and most "recently", the three who brought a completely new vernacular to the instrument: Derek Bailey > Jimi > Bill Frisell. I suppose EVH might belong too? Btw, there were times in my life where I was really under the spell of all four but I really feel I'm speaking not as a...
Now there's a third .. in 36 up!
That seller's in my city, I actually bought an old WD for my wife from him before. I'd love to see fit pics w/ guy you grabbed as I've always been curious what they look like ON somebody. I pass the old WD store often as it's right around the corner. It was...
Ha sorry, the "brand" of Man, yes.
I'm of the belief that the heft of Jimi's talents cannot be overstated. The guy was such a giant ... and so freakin' humble. This is really lovely:
Hate to be redundant as I posted this up in "Hats" but for posterity sake here's a beautiful old "Oviatt Model, Made In England" by the "New" Failsworth Hat Manufacturing Co. I was told by family that hat was originally purchased in the 40's by the actress Ann Richards ("AR" embossed in sweat)...
Here we have a cool "Oviatt Model Made In England" originally purchased, according to a family member, at the Oviatt's store in the 40's for $15 (Oviatt price tag under sweat) by the actress Ann Richards. Hat's been lingering for sale online for ages so I finally had to rescue it. Besides lovely...
Here's a little comic relief after Daniele's tour de force above.
A pity/exploratory purchase (<$20 shipped ; ) Turned out to be a completely serviceable and fun little lid. It better be as it's "100% Genuine Fur" and true to promise, does have a very nice hand. No liner, labels or indicator of...
That's sweet, Bob!
This band lived on a 30s BOP so I'm assuming it was made then too. I like it better on this 40s Nutria Quality. I keep an eye out for old horse hair bands but they're far and few between.
Ha! Right? Forgot that part, Stefan. I dig the hat! Pleasantly surprised and pleasantly informed as it's interesting to me how so "much" felt can weigh so little. Sweat is very um ... utilitarian: basically a nice piece of leather attached very capably but without the glory I associate with fine...
Finally got a sunny day to try to get some pics of this Gelot. Still can't really capture the green.
Anyway, a very light hat .. felt's longhair that's a pleasure to hold.
Holy shite this last page is so over the top. I "quoted" Joe's post of his powder blue Strat which happens to be one of my favorite FL hats but then Eric followed up with his seven !? That Dobbs and Marathon?! Wow. What's the plural of y'all? ALL Y'ALL ... really killing it this Sunday. We...
